Mickey Proves Doubters Wrong in Kilroe Mile

There was much to like about Mickey heading into the Kilroe Mile even with the race having as strong of a field as it did. The Proud Chai gelding was a monster as a three year old, capping off a great season with a win in the BC Turf. He was not done there, though, continuing his great form and looking like the one to beat here. While he was our pick to win, the bettors did not feel the same way for some reason, and made him a 14/1 longshot.

Turf Stars Will Shine Bright in Kilroe Mile

For this first weekend in March, we have plenty of great races to be excited about, and they all aren’t necessarily paying KYD or KYO points. At SA, we will have nineteenth running of the Grade 1 Kilroe Mile, sending a field of eleven that distance along the turf course for a $500.000 purse.
